Yes, that's right. There was a football game yesterday. A real life, professional, National Football League game. That game was none other than the Pro Bowl. You weren't one of the 14 people who watched it? Well. You missed a game full of bad tackles, tweeting players and ugly Hawaiian shirt. In the game itself, the AFC won a shootout, 59 to 41. The 100 points were a new PB record.
Here at 900 Irving Ave and Beyond, we played a game of Fantasy Pro Bowl that we referred to as "The Bro Bowl". The game was simple. Each player (six of us) gets a quarterback, a running back and 2 recievers (either wide outs or tight ends). Scoring is very basic. Any player involved in a touchdown (passing, rushing, recieving) earned 6 points for his team. One point is earned for each 25 yards that a player gains. If a player commits a turnover, his team loses 2 points.
The draft was a normal snake draft. The player with the most points at the end of the game was the winner of a pot of 25 dollars.
The Fantasy Sports aspect of the Pro Bowl gave us a whole new look upon the game. This wasn't just a boring, meaningless exhibition game to us. It turned into a highly competitive game, which created rivalries among friends. We were shouting at the TV more than you could imagine. In fact, for a while, we couldn't even get accurate stats, which just led to us getting more angry.
Brandon Marshall led the winning team to victory with 31 points. Marshall, in addition to being the Bro Bowl MVP, was the Pro Bowl MVP. Marshall outscored all but one team in the Bro Bowl and scored 8 points more than any other player.

So, if you're ever interested in playing a new Pro Bowl game, give Fantasy Pro Bowl a chance. It's not nearly as lame as it sounds.
